    I replaced my recently died MacBookPro with this thing and even after two years I still don't like it. It requires a heavy touch like we had to use on the old manual typewriters. The keys are spaced badly and I sometimes hit between them. The back space key is almost as slow as molasses and holding the key down simply makes it sit there. I'm a typist so find this very frustrating. Also I had to buy an external UBS Super drive to play DVDs since the computer is my only source to play them. I don't own a TV. Also need a remote mouse because the keypad dries my fingers out. What is the sense of a laptop when you have to plug stuff into it.

    Even though reviews mention that this one is somewhat outdated in features, for the average user it is more than enough. Also love those USB ports, no adapter needed as the new ones

    I purchased this product for my general computer requirements. I have found it meets these perfectly. As a bonus I have been editing my GoPro videos on it using iMovie with great results.

    My nephew is a high school/college student. He is able to carry this around school with no issue because of it's light weight and he can use it for all of his school assignments. He loves it!

    Satisfied with this product. I really just wish there were more cross over products by third parties instead of the exclusive catering to Windows.

    It's perfect for texting while emailing. It's great if you're into graphic design and want a light cool looking laptop. Best Buy had a great deal- $850 for the laptop so it was definitely a steal.

    I have always used a PC ... My first apple and I absolutely love it. I am not technically savvy but set it up and learned to use it on my on. I am a baby boomer who has resisted high tech.

    This laptop is great for everyday use, I went ahead and recommended it to a family member. Only issue is that if you want more power or will have a heavy use of it, I recommend buying a pro

    Being new to Apple, this laptop was everything I anticipated and more! It takes a while to get used to (since I have only used PC), and I am still learning new things everyday! Worth the money!

    Had to replace my 10-year-old Mac Pro tower and wanted something portable. The only thing I feel I sacrificed was disk space which I made up for with an external hard drive. Best of both worlds!

    My first Mac lasted me 10+ years so I decided to get a new one. The Air is a bit slow and sometimes freezes on me. Other than that I love it and I'm sure it will last me 10+ years this go around!

    I love apple products; they are built to last, and for simplicity. Also, the fact that i purchased this during a weekly sale $300.00 off the original price; i almost bought two of them.
